Mr Umang Patel
Physiotherapist
Umang graduated from Auckland University of Technology in 2025. During his clinical year in Tauranga, he gained experience across acute, neurological, and musculoskeletal settings, developing a strong interest in sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Umang brings experience as a sideline medic, having worked with both rugby and cricket teams. Throughout his life, Umang played a range of sports, including cricket at an age-representative level, and also enjoyed hockey and football. Like many athletes, he experienced his fair share of injuries and spent plenty of time receiving physiotherapy. Seeing how important physiotherapy was in helping him return to the sport he loved inspired Umang to pursue physiotherapy, and in doing that, work towards supporting others in the same way. I enjoy working closely with people through their rehabilitation journey and finding the best approach for their individual needs and goals. I aim to create a fun and friendly environment while working collaboratively with people through their recovery. My approach often includes exercise-based rehabilitation, combined with hands-on treatment and practical strategies to help people return to the things they love most. Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, playing cricket and golf, watching sport, and spending time with friends and family. On weekends you’ll usually find me doing something active; whether that’s at a sports park, exploring around New Zealand, or catching up with friends. View details »
Mr Benjamin Hingley
Physiotherapist
Kia Ora, I’m Ben, a physiotherapist with a strong passion for helping people recover from injuries and reach their full physical potential—both in everyday life and with athletic endeavours. I graduated from AUT with a Bachelors of Physiotherapy in 2022. Since then I have also become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and am certified to perform dry needling. My approach combines evidence-based rehab techniques with performance-focused training to help clients not only heal but also come back stronger. Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with various populations such as older-persons, post-surgical, chronic pain, and working in premier-level rugby, where I gained hands-on experience in treating high-performance athletes and managing acute and chronic sports injuries. My key interests lie in strength and conditioning, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and tendinopathy management. Whether you’re an athlete working toward peak performance or someone recovering from an injury, I’m here to guide you through a personalized, structured approach to recovery and improvement. I’m especially passionate about bridging the gap between rehab and performance—making sure you don't just return to your sport, but return better prepared. Let’s work together to get you moving better, feeling stronger, and performing at your best. View details »
